Hi,
many research centers will let you do exactly that. Some do not
require that you keep your work proprietary if you wish it to be free.
Maybe that is more frequent in Europe, because more research center
there are state funded (Though I am not sure where the amount of state
money is actually greatest). On the other hand, when free results are
produced, it does not really matter where. The Internet is everywhere.
Often there is the requirement that the results be useful for business,
but that does not mean that you have to be in business yourself.
